What Memsie Stakes Day Where Caulfield Racecourse – Gate 2, Station St, Caulfield East VIC 3145 When Saturday, August 16, 2025 First Race 12:05pm AEST Visit Dabble Group 1 racing returns to Caulfield on Saturday afternoon as the Memsie Stakes (1400m) headlines a 10-race program. With plenty of rain forecast for Friday and up to 8mm on race day, the track will likely be in the Heavy range. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit, with the opening race of the 2025 Melbourne Spring Carnival set to jump at 12:05pm AEST. Memsie Stakes tip: Treasurethe Moment Already a three-time Group 1 winner, Treasurethe Moment returns to the same track and trip where she won arrogantly when fresh in her autumn campaign. It is a distance short of her best, but the way she exploded away from her rivals on that day suggests she is in this up to her neck. Damian Lane will need an ounce of luck from barrier one when the speed goes on, but if Treasurethe Moment is anywhere near her best on her first go at weight-for-age level, she will take some holding out in the 2025 Memsie Stakes. Memsie Stakes Race 9 – #11 Treasurethe Moment (1) 4yo Mare | T: Matt Laurie | J: Damian Lane (56.5kg) McNeil Stakes tip: Vinrock The undefeated Vinrock has not been seen since his ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) victory on April 5, but with a couple of sharp jumpouts under his belt, he looks raring to go for the new season. From barrier three, Mark Zahra will likely look to dictate proceedings, and as long as the I Am Invincible colt can handle the wet going at the first time of asking, Vinrock looks hard to gun down in the 2025 McNeil Stakes (1400m). McNeil Stakes Race 6 – #2 Vinrock (3) 3yo Colt | T: Matt Laurie | J: Mark Zahra (58kg) The Heath 1100 tip: Arkansaw Kid Arkansaw Kid caught the eye when resuming in the Listed Regal Roller Stakes (1200m) and looks set to relish the wet ground second-up in The Heath 1100 (1100m). They will go pretty quickly out in front, which should counter the fact he is dropping back 100m in distance. Blake Shinn will have the son of Harry Angel settled towards the rear of the field from barrier 14, but if the pair can find the right back to follow in the straight, Arkansaw Kid will prove too hard to hold out. The Heath 1100 Race 7 – #2 Arkansaw Kid (14) 5yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blake Shinn (59kg) Cockram Stakes tip: Pop Award New Zealand-based jockey Matthew Cartwright will make the trip back to Caulfield to partner Pop Award, with the pair combining for five wins and a second from six runs. The five-year-old mare is clearly the most untapped horse in the field, and her win in the Regal Roller showed she is more than up to this level. Cartwright will need a touch of luck from barrier 11, but if the pair can find cover in the three-wide line, Pop Award has the finish overhaul her rivals in the 2025 Cockram Stakes. Cockram Stakes Race 8 – #10 Pop Award (11) 5yo Mare | T: Lyn Tolson & Leonie Proctor | J: Matthew Cartwright (57kg) Best Bet at Caulfield: Revelare Revelare lacked dash first-up over 1600m, but with the run under his belt and stepping up to 2000m, he looks hard to hold out with just 54kg on his back. The son of So You Think was fresh off a spell of close to six months, and he is unbeaten through two second-up efforts. Ryan Hurdle has five wins and a minor placing from seven rides on the five-year-old gelding, and as long as the pair can find cover from barrier eight, Revelare only needs to handle the wet ground to win it. Best Bet Race 4 – #14 Revelare (8) 5yo Gelding | T: Robert Hickmott | J: Ryan Hurdle (54kg) Memsie Stakes Day quaddie tips for Caulfield Caulfield quadrella selections Saturday, August 30, 2025 2-4-6-12-15 2-3-10-12 1-2-3-6-9-11 4-10-12 Horse racing tips View the full article

Again, I don't find her comments outrageous, crazy, or anti-racing.       

Argon and xenon gases have been used as performance enhancers, though their effectiveness remains controversial and they are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). How Xenon and Argon Work as Performance Enhancers Both gases are noble gases, traditionally considered inert, but they have bioactive properties that can influence human physiology: 1. Activation of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF-1α) Inhalation of xenon or argon can stimulate HIF-1α, a protein that helps the body adapt to low oxygen environments  This leads to increased production of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that boosts red blood cell formation, enhancing oxygen delivery and endurance  2. Mimicking Altitude Training The physiological effects are similar to training at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are lower. Athletes may use these gases to increase stamina and recovery without needing to relocate or use hypoxic chambers 3. Rapid Clearance, Lasting Effects Xenon and argon clear from the body within hours, but their performance-enhancing effects can last for days, making them attractive for doping Scientific Evidence and Limitations Studies have shown modest increases in EPO and plasma volume after xenon inhalation, but no consistent improvement in athletic performance  The long-term health effects and optimal dosing protocols remain unclear or unproven. Regulatory Status WADA banned xenon and argon in 2014, classifying them as performance-enhancing drugs due to their ability to artificially boost oxygen-carrying capacity Detection is challenging, as the gases are quickly eliminated from the body, and testing relies on indirect markers like HIF-1α or EPO levels.

Offered midway during the single-session CTHS Canadian Premier Yearling Sale at Woodbine Race Track on Aug. 27, a colt by the late and influential Speightstown was hammered down for C$400,000 to easily rate as the dearest lot on offer during the auction. Hip 109, bred in Ontario by Mario Forgione, was consigned to the sale by Huntington Stud Farm as agent and is the third foal out of the 10-year-old Travieza (Into Mischief), upset winner of the 2018 Unzip Me Stakes and sold for $80,000 in foal to Munnings at the 2020 Keeneland November Sale. Trainer Mike DePaulo, agent, signed the winning ticket. Three other youngsters realized final bids in the six figures. Hip 90 is a Northern Dawn-consigned daughter of Frosted and Spani Lou (Spaniard), the dam of MSW Red River Rebel (Reload) and herself a half-sister to Canadian Horse of the Year and multiple Sovereign Award winner Lexie Lou (Sligo Bay {Ire}). Tbe gray filly fetched C$145,000 from Michael and Charmaine Langlois. Prominent North American owner Gary Barber paid C$142,000 for hip 155, a colt from the first crop of Speaker's Corner (Street Sense) and a half-brother to Sovereign Award-winning 2-year-old filly Witwatersrand (Connect). A Jan. 29 foal, the colt's second dam is MGSW & GISP Communique (Smart Strike). Hill 'n' Dale consigned. Earlier in the session, hip 47–also from the Hill 'n' Dale draft–fetched C$112,000 from Catherine Day-Phillips, agent for owner Sean Fitzhenry. A son of Canadian stalwart Silent Name (Jpn), the May 18 produce is a son of 2024 Outstanding Canadian Broodmare Platinum Steel (Eddington), the dam of champion 3-year-old colt and champion older dirt male Paramount Prince (Society's Chairman).
